2022 MARCH MADNESS PREVIEW
Added 2022-02-26 02:08:28 +0000 UTCLet’s get ready to rrrruuuummmbbbblllllleeeeee!
Join us for a special preview episode of this year’s March Madness tournament where we answer all of your burning questions - How are we dividing up Hitchcock’s filmography? Which series would Griffin and David’s parents want to guest on? Which Halloween movies would we cover as part of that franchise? Would we do a 9-hour commentary for “Get Back” as part of a Beatles series? Will David make it to his preview screening of “The Batman” on time?
A quick housekeeping note - as Chip Smith owns the rights to the entire 20th Century, our March Madness recap episodes going forward will be under his purview. We’re not really sure what to expect, but we can assure you that shit will get weird.
Comments
With the Rocky love talk and specifically Rocky IV - would love some Blankies to dive into "FINDING DRAGO" a wonderful Dead Eyes/Mystery Show style sleuthing into a fun fan fiction aspect of that movie. Highly recommend

2022-03-02 03:17:54 +0000 UTCSo many amazing options, but have to be a spoiled fan and ask…why no Cronenberg!?!?

2022-03-01 12:23:30 +0000 UTCReally exciting brackets. 🙌❤️ Worth a mention that The Archers is pretty confusing for folks in the UK… they’re almost always referred to as Powell & Pressberger because The Archers is a radio drama that’s been on since the 50s and is a national institution. I don’t think there’s anyone on the podcast who could possibly know that.

Noah Ontiveros
2022-02-26 21:00:22 +0000 UTCFor anyone interested this gives a decent idea of Andrei Tarkovsky's style, kind of like a Russian David Lynch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak6rI-j07QU&t=82s

2022-02-26 20:01:24 +0000 UTCWow, what a bracket! Tarkovsky won't win but I'd love to see him covered.

Travis Dunsmuir
2022-02-26 15:52:24 +0000 UTCAnyone else think Marie should have her own spin-off podcast? I’d happily listen to her talk movies every week too.

2022-02-26 15:44:20 +0000 UTCThat was Marie Bardi, who handles BC's social media and thus all the polls and visuals for March Madness.
Kalle Färm
2022-02-26 11:06:42 +0000 UTCIf Kubrick ends up taking it can we get a patreon ep on the 2015 Ron Perlman/Rupert Grint vehicle 'Moonwalkers' about the 'faking' of the moon landing?
Adam Butterworth
2022-02-26 10:42:31 +0000 UTCWould an Orson Welles series mean that we finally get Jeff Wells to guest on the podcast? #WellsOnWelles

2022-02-26 10:20:05 +0000 UTCSorry I’m a new checkmate. Who was the lady host?
Jonny Seed
2022-02-26 09:33:57 +0000 UTCI may be wrong but looks like none of these are silent franchises
Kevin Love Hewitt
2022-02-26 06:12:41 +0000 UTCthis ep was full of such joy and excitedness, loved it.
David
2022-02-26 06:00:46 +0000 UTCThis is a cool theme. I could get on board, because there are a lot of classics I haven’t seen overall. I might also be able to get my family to watch with me.
Patrick Tully
2022-02-26 05:33:10 +0000 UTCmaybe a unpopular opinion but not sure i could deal w months of silent films
Justice SZ
2022-02-26 04:45:31 +0000 UTCSo it would be possible for the final round to be Hitchcock/Truffaut?!

2022-02-26 03:56:20 +0000 UTCThis is the nerdiest March Madness ever and I'm totally for it.
Benji Black
2022-02-26 03:20:38 +0000 UTCWoah woah woah, Chip Smith owns the rights to the ENTIRE 20th Century? Not just the company?!?!?
Nolan Beattie
2022-02-26 02:22:02 +0000 UTCEvery Hitchcock episode should start with the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme
Leo Martin
2022-02-26 02:15:20 +0000 UTCMy favourite time of the year
